Multiplexed holograms in phenanthrenequinone–polymethylmethacrylate composite for microscopic applications

Abstract

The conditions of multiplexed hologram recording in the layers of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with a high content of photosensitive components, phenanthrenequinone (PQ), were analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The sequential record of up to 10 holograms onto a single photosensitive layer with a possibility of angular selection of holograms by their reconstruction was realized experimentally. The process of the alignment of values of the diffraction efficiency by selecting of exposing dose at each sequential hologram record was shown. The possibility to use multiplex holograms based on PQ-PMMA layers in application to 3D-microscopy was demonstrated.
